Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Suddenly had a fever with a hard lump and pain in the breast on August 11th. What should I do? Treatment history and effectiveness: Received three injections of Ceftriaxone. Desired help: Is there any way to get better quickly!Doctor's answer:
Hello, breast lumps are formed due to milk not being able to drain or draining poorly, leading to milk accumulation in the breast. Normally, during lactation, the secretion of milk and the fullness of the breast causing a sensation of fullness, hardness, or even slight pain are all normal phenomena. This is because during the nearly year-long lactation period, any one or several breast ducts may become blocked or narrowed, which can lead to milk accumulation in the breast. In the late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women should frequently wipe the nipples and areolas with warm water, especially during hot and sweaty summers, to maintain cleanliness of the nipples while also increasing their ability to adapt to external stimuli. For those with inverted nipples, it is also important to gently pull the nipples to facilitate the baby's suckling after delivery.
